The corner deli is the refrigerator for the girl on the go.

Jami Attenberg moved to New York from sleepy Seattle in the late 90s and quickly discovered how difficult it is to carve out a niche for yourself in the city that never sleeps. Sometimes the only community you can call your own is in the store on the corner. Amongst coffee and cigarettes and sandwiches-to-go, she began to discover the secret to life in the big city can be found in the small details. The girl behind the counter who remembers coffee orders. The guy who recognizes hangovers and knows how to help. And, of course, the neighborhood drug dealer who delivers. In one of the most densely packed cities in the world, happiness frequently comes down to just a handful of people.

Jami Attenberg's writing defines life in New York City with clarity, depth, and humor.
Deli Life is 32 pages with a full color cover and comes wrapped in wax paper with a pickle on the side. It was designed by Geoffrey Long.


plus, I love the fact that it says on the right hand side of the page - as a way of enticing you - 'these books don't suck' and then goes on to list more books from the company. Funny place it seems.
